Protective Glides: Place protective glides on the bottom of all chairs and furniture legs. Protective glides come in a variety of sizes and shapes and
can be purchased at your local home improvement center. For really large furniture such as China cabinets, hutches, etc., you will definitely need to

piano coasters.
